I'd like to write - like grown-up poets do:
with similes that span the universe,
that sparkle, crackle, dazzle, woo the mind;
and touch the heart with tender, swoony verse...

A brilliant work of art, well conceived and elegantly brought forth...
This is a well written unique poem on love! I will continue reading your good work.
POET! ! ! ! ! ! Always connect with your inner child-that's where the spirit comes from-I'm sure I studied this poem when I was in high school.A ten from me.
Your wish has come true for you already write as grown-up poets do, cascading, as you do, lots of small lamps, and in cupped hands too. Bless you. Fay
Speaking of hands. I'll hand it to you. Another great poem lighting up my day.
Serving the world with some truth, however small it may be...... That sounds like a mighty wish to me....... Thanks for the poem.
I don't need to tell you, you do write poetry like a grown up, but make me feel highly inadequate in the process! Drat! Wish I had not read this now, or voted a ten! I take it all back! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Peace, Aisha
Hail! Poet, It is an eternal lilt, Which I felt and melt; O Those sweet words, which provoke, pours love and wisdom. God Bless you. Yours faithfully, N.Karthikeyan Osho
First poem of yours I've read. I think of you as a kind of guardian angel for this site...your comments and your poems are so prolific. But I've 'had promises to keep' and haven't oft gotten to these pages to read. I find this poem lovely, the sentiment is fine, and it works well and is quite nicely expressed in the sonnet form you chose.
Your sonnets are wonderful. Of course there are people who will dismiss them as 'not modern poetry', but what do they know? Do you know Peter Russell's sonnets, by the way?
Who wouldnt like to write like you do? Excellent funny and clever at the same time You lite up my day with your clever little wish. Why should you wish for something you have got already? with love Pia
ah, Michael how is it you so often seem to read my mail (thoughts) ha ha ha! Loved it, mate. BZ. Charles
Wisdom comes with experience. You must be very experienced. Hugs Jan
Many poets are still a twinkle in our fathers eye in comparison: -) lovely as always
Glad you said 'liked' and not 'admired', Herb. Close one that.
11.5 on the Nehrlich Scale. Dripping with wisdom, humility, kindness, skill and the desire to be liked..... Can't see anything wrong with that. H
loved this poem as I like to write as no-one else has written, originality my ambition.
